    Rosemary's Blessing: 

     

    May God bless you with tears…
    to shed for those who suffer from pain,
    rejection, starvation and war.
    May God bless you so that
    you may reach out your hand
    to comfort them and turn their pain into joy.

    The Status of The Hip:

    1.  Been off pain meds since Tuesday.  Not because of being macho.  Just no pain.

    2.  The physical therapist says the therapy is going so good that probably Monday we will get rid of the walker and use a cane to walk with.

    3.  I was told one hour of being up, one hour of rest.  So true.  After an hour sitting up, I am exhausted and can sleep an hour.  In fact, I am delighted that the exhaustion, the trembles, the cold to the bone feeling, and the dizziness at the end of the hour has gone away a day or so ago.   

    4.  Thanks for everything, the food, the special, community blessed shawl, and the affirmation.

    O God, when I have food,
    help me to remember the hungry;
    When I have work,
    help me to remember the jobless;
    When I have a home,
    help me to remember those who have no home at all;
    When I am without pain,
    help me to remember those who suffer,
    And remembering,
    help me to destroy my complacency;
    bestir my compassion,
    and be concerned enough to help;
    By word and deed,
    those who cry out for what we take for granted.
    Amen.
